Yes. Search before this, what I 26 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: mostly found was pumpkin spice. Marshmallows are making their way 27 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: to the shelves, and I'm like, it is degrees outside. 28 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: I believe in my home closet studio it's ninety two degrees. 29 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, and it's what time? Fall? No? Yeah, no, 30 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: I am unprepared. I'm unprepared for it to be like 31 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,239 Speaker 1: April right now. I'm still stuck in March. Um, so 32 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: so I don't. I don't. Fall is not on my 33 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: horizon yet. Um. I wish it were fall so that 34 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: you know it would not be nine degrees. Fall is 35 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: my favorite season. Fall. It is pretty nice fall. It 36 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: is pretty nice. Although considering how cold you always were 37 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: in the studio, which was like a balmy like sevent five, 38 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: I am I imagine that you're happier like nine two? 39 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: Are you? Or is it just bad in a different way? 40 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: I love jackets. They're my favorite form of clothing and 41 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: in fact, Lauren, you can you can confirm to the 42 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: listeners that behind me, I'm not only do you have 43 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: my cosplay, but this is just coats that I have. 44 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: And that's my third shelf of coats, Like there's two 45 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: more out there. So wow, yeah, I've prepared. You do 46 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: have a number of very sharp coats. Oh thank you? 47 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: Of course, because I'm cold all the time. Eventually I 48 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: had to be like, I can't wear the same jacket 49 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: every day or it's gonna look like I'm just wearing 50 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: the same thing every day, which is the point I've 51 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 1: arrived at now in quarantine. But right sure, back when 52 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: changing your clothing ever mattered, I really don't care. Yeah nope. 53 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: So that's just a peek inside our mental state. Um 54 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,839 Speaker 1: I awso found an article called you can't Roast Marshmallows 55 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: on Zoom about summer camps. Yeah, but we had some 56 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: listeners to roast harsh mellow on zoom. Come on, you 57 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: can also do them. I mean it's not as good, 58 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,040 Speaker 1: but it is fun to watch. You can mike the 59 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: waves them and they billow out and and then they 60 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: kind of sink back in. There's ways you can do it. Yeah, 61 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: I you know, it's not. It's not the same, but 62 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: it's but it's different. It's true, and that's okay too. 63 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: It's not the same, but it's different. Wiser words that 64 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: I've never been said. This is why I have a 65 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: job talking. Yeah. That. And then to kind of extraneous facts. Okay, 66 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: I mostly want to put this in here to up 67 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: my Star Wars count. But maybe Yoda cereal with marshmallows 68 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: is now available at Sam's Club. Okay, Okay, I like it, okay. 69 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: And also, which is brew kit cats that, according to reviews, 70 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 1: tastes like marshmallows are coming out for Halloween, which is 71 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: another thing I'm planning on how to do virtually because 72 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 1: as you know, Lauren and I love Halloween and it's 73 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: our well it's my favorite holiday. I believe it's yours. Yeah, yeah, 74 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: pretty much. Yeah, So I'm coming up with plans. Perhaps 75 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: I will get this which is brew I'm always a 76 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: little bit confused by candy that is flavored to taste 77 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 1: like other different candy. Yeah that's fair, but but I 78 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: do like the hypothetical flavor of marshmallows, so which I 79 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: think we get into somewhere in this episode. Yes, we 80 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: also get into one of my biggest baking disasters of 81 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: all times, trying to make marshmallows, which reminds me. We 82 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: have that video we went to visit a place that 83 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: made marshmallows and Marvy marshmallows. Yeah, yeah, Mallvy marshalls. Yeah, 84 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: and we have a video. She was much more successful 85 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: than I am, which makes sense because she's got a 86 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: whole successful business. Does it does at the point in time, 87 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: the open whole business about it? I would I would 88 00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: hope that you would have it pretty much down. Um. Yes. Uh. 89 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: And and they are by the way open and shipping 90 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: right now. Um. And their stuff is just delightful, delightful. 91 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,679 Speaker 1: So yeah MLV that's m A l V. I. So yeah, 92 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: marshmallow is one of the I and I talked about 93 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: it in this episode. It's one of the few foods 94 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: where I was like, this is drastically different homemade versus 95 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: what you get in a grocery store. Yeah. Absolutely, Um yeah, 96 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 1: the mass produced stuff is is definitely a different, delicious creature. Yes, yes, 97 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 1: so okay, I feel like we've teased enough. Yes, Yes, 98 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:51,919 Speaker 1: let's get into this classic episode. Hello and welcome to 99 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: food Stuff. I'm an erie and I'm boring vocal bam, 100 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: and today we're going to be talking about marshmallow. Yes, 101 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: we we've kind of a one to punch for you 102 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: for opening up your summer. Are we doing marshmallows and 103 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: then Graham crackers? Yes, and we will get to chocolate, 104 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: don't worry. Oh yeah eventually. I this is what we're 105 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: We're lucky here in Atlanta to have a number of 106 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: people who do um a full like bean to bar chocolate, 107 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: and so we really want to go talk to some 108 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: of them before we start off on a chocolate We 109 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: search endeavor like it'll be a chocolate rabbit hole. Oh yeah, 110 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: oh man, that's a delicious rabbit hole. But we did 111 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: go on a delicious marshmallow rabbit hole. We visited Malvy 112 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: marshmallows in Incoming, Georgia. Yeah, they do ship everywhere, though 113 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: they are not like everywhere everywhere. I think it's like 114 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: United States, United States everywhere. Sorry everybody, Yeah, sorry y'all. Um. Yeah, 115 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: we ate so many marshmallows. Oh they were so delicious. 116 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: Were Oh, handmade marshmallows are nothing like manufactured marshmallows. Basically, Yes, 117 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: this is one I would say it's copletely different, almost 118 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: completely different from what you buy in a store what 119 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: you make at home. It's the same concept though, yes, 120 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: because marshmallows, as you know. Oh no, are there people 121 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: out there who don't know marshmallows, we must explain. Yes, 122 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: they are like a puffy, white, airy, smushy sweet treat 123 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: that are typically encountered in the West around Easter time 124 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: or in the summer as the goo that finds together 125 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:34,559 Speaker 1: some more. Hence marshmallows graham crackers for the summertime, or 126 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: at least that's what I thought, because apparently a majority 127 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: of the ninety million pounds million pounds of marshmallows Americans 128 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: bi annually, and we are the number one consumer, are 129 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: purchased between the months of October and December, which I 130 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: I guess like hot chocolate toppings, sweet potato castules. I 131 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 1: don't put Marshalls on there, but I hear will do 132 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: in Ambrosia. That's that's how I had it growing up. Yeah, 133 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: Ambrosia salad um Christmas cookies maybe as an ingredient, right 134 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 1: and um, when I brought this up, it's kind of 135 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: a weird fact. At Malby Marshmallows, Um, the owner of Laura. 136 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: She said, they're just good Christmas gifts. So I guess 137 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: that makes sense. I guess, Nancy, marshmallows anywhere and good 138 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: Christmas gifts. You better not killy like, I'll be pretty 139 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: mad for a little bit, then I'll be fine. I'm 140 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 1: pretty sure you would just eat them. Yeah, aren't you, Chris, 141 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: which is how I prefer them. Oh yeah, yeah, I 142 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: like yeah, I like mine. I don't know. I like 143 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: them both ways. I like a nice, gentle toast, even toast, 144 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: and then I like burning the crap out of some 145 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: of them. So like marshmallows, smalley as. These things are 146 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: very important. It's a different animal once it's burnt. It's true. 147 00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 1: Another random facts Leone. That's how I would say that 148 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 1: in French. I'm probably I'm going to go ahead and 149 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: say that it's Linda Near. It's probably Linda Near. You're 150 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: absolutely correct, it's it's in Noble County, Indiana, though it's 151 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: it's the name of this is the name of a town. Yes, 152 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,199 Speaker 1: and it is the marshmallow capital of the world. Um. 153 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: That is because both Craft and Kid have marshmallow plants. 154 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 1: There to arrival marshmallow plants in the same town. Interesting, 155 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: they have an annual marshmallow festival. When is it? I 156 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: don't know. We need to find that out. Marshmallows, meanwhile, 157 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: are actually about eight air. Sounds like something my dad 158 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: would say about my brain anyway. These days, most commercial 159 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: marshmallos are generally made up of some combination of sugar, 160 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: egg whites, gelatine, corn syrup flavorings like vanilla, and water 161 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: with a cornstarch or confection or sugar coating. Um. But 162 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: the first marshmallows were derived from a mucacie sap of 163 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: the mallow plant scientific name Alphaa officia analysis, which likes 164 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: to grow on marshes. Get it, marsh mallow. It makes 165 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: complete sense. Marshmallow. Yes. Yes. The plant grows to be 166 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 1: like like two to four ft tall. That's like points 167 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: six to about two meters um and it's native to 168 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,319 Speaker 1: West Asia and Europe as big old pink flowers um. 169 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: And most of the sap is located in the roots, 170 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: and in ancient times and even into more modern times, 171 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: it was thought to have been a curative for sore 172 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: throats and of other issues. Um. It's scientific name alphaea 173 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: comes from the Greek root for for curing or healing, 174 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 1: which brings us to our history segments. Yeah, because the 175 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: first marshmallows go back further than perhaps I thought, right, 176 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: all the way back to two thousand b C, when 177 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: ancient Egyptians would boil sap extracted from the mallow plant 178 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 1: in honey, sometimes mixing in nuts to make individual spongey 179 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: candy like things. And this was a pineapple level treat, 180 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 1: which is my new bar for measuring luxury, by the way, 181 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 1: and it was reserved for royalty and gods, which I 182 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: think royalty were considered god, so technically it's sort of 183 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: the same, right, but it had something to do with 184 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: like ceremonies. Oh what very interesting um. And from there 185 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 1: the marshmallows and medicinal reputation must have spread. Beginning sometime 186 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 1: around about ninth century BC, marshmallows were used not just 187 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,439 Speaker 1: for sore throats, but to heal wounds, and marshmallow sap 188 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: was made into a bomb used in treating beastings and 189 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: tooth thigs. Compresses made up of ground marshmallow leaves were 190 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 1: recommended by Arab Possians as an anti inflammatory, and by 191 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: the first century CE, Greek physician dios Karates wrote that 192 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: the marshmallow worked against wounds if you had any swelling 193 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: in the glands, inflamed breast, swellings of the anus, dysentery, 194 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: blood loss, or diarrhea. M hm um our our buddy. 195 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: Pliny supposedly wrote, whosoever shall take a spoonful of the mallows, 196 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 1: shall that day be free from all diseases that may 197 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: come to him. Wow the mallow, Oh that's great. Um 198 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: of fifteenth century Italian cooking text written by Latina called 199 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: On Right Pleasure and Good Health had an entire chapter 200 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 1: dedicated to the healing properties of the marshmallow plant. The 201 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: marshmallow continued to be prescribed as an anti inflammatory and 202 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 1: throw it super into the Renaissance. Also up through the 203 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: eighteen hundreds at least to the plant was sometimes eaten 204 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: as a savory dish um, not necessarily for its medicinal 205 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: properties um, and the leaves is a salad. The the 206 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: stems and roots would be boiled and or pan fried. 207 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: One recipe from eighteen seventy recommends frying the roots with 208 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: onions and butter. I mean, frying anything with onions and 209 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: butter sounds pretty good, so just about yeah, Although it 210 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: would probably be kind of mucasy sort of like a 211 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: like okra, maybe I love a problem for me. And 212 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: this just about brings us to nineteenth century France and 213 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: the modern day marshmallow, which isn't necessarily curative. No, probably not. 214 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: But first let's take a quick break for a word 215 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: from our sponsor and we're back. Thank you. Sponsor. Into 216 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: France a frequent center for food trends, French candy makers 217 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: were looking to create a healthier indulgence and they came 218 00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 1: up with patte de grimv are, pretty much the stern 219 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: day marshmallow. They didn't have modern day technology, though, so 220 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: to arrive at their version of the marshmallow, French candymakers 221 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: whipped together marshmallow, plant juice, eggs, and sugar until it 222 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: was this foamy paste that was heated, poured and shaped 223 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: into molds one at a time by hand. You could 224 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: get them as a lozenge or a bar, and they 225 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: were advertised as this treat. Yeah. This quote from excuses 226 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: great name Complete Confectioner is a good example of that. 227 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: Marshmallows are agreeam of experienced a lot of popularity, must 228 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: be nice. Once they became more wide spread outside of 229 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: the royalty and God's crowd fancy that. So demand was 230 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: pretty high. But this process of marshmallow making obviously took 231 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: a lot of time and you know, like money, so 232 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: candy makers were looking for a cheaper, faster way to 233 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: make them. The solution to their problem came in the 234 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: form of the eighteen to nineteenth century commercialization of of 235 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: food grade dried gelatin, which was first patented in powder 236 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: form in America by Peter Cooper in eighteen forty five. 237 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: He's also the inventor of the steam locomotive and was 238 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: actually trying to figure out like glue at the time. 239 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: He wasn't looking for a dessert, but that's sort of 240 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: how it worked out. Yeah, this commercial gelatine was was 241 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: cheap and easily sourced, so katie maker started using it 242 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: to replace the marshmallow plant extract while still being able 243 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: to to keep the candy you know, fluffy, pillowy, right, 244 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: But that also meant that the supported health benefits that 245 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: the marshmallow route brought to the marshmallow were lost. Yes, 246 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: and it was still a slow process. You had to 247 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: let the mallows air drying sheets or individually so that 248 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: they'd form a skin, and then sprinkled them with starch 249 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: and the processed a few hours per batch. However, by 250 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: the late eighteen hundred slash early nineteen hundreds, UM, the 251 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: now mass produced marshmallows spread to the United States and 252 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,400 Speaker 1: we're available in these little one cent tins. Everything in tins. 253 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 1: Everything was great, UM thanks to the advent of the 254 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: very menacing sounding starch mogul system. It's just the process 255 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: of using these corn starch molds to to form the marshmallows. 256 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: Cornstarch being a powder that is really good at absorbing water. 257 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 1: And yes, I just said adsorb, not absorb. Um. Absorb 258 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 1: means to suck something in. Adsorb means to kind of 259 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 1: stick something on. Um. On a molecular level, corn starch 260 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: and other absorbed tive materials like sand are are all 261 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: craggy and porous, and water molecules just kind of get 262 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: stuck there. So the powdery coating on modern marshmallows is 263 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: typically a combination of cornstarch and confection or sugar, which 264 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,479 Speaker 1: forms a sort of protective barrier and keeps them moist 265 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 1: on the inside but dry enough on the outside that 266 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: you can pick them up without getting your fingers all sticky. 267 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 1: So a pressed corn starch mold was a really great 268 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 1: invention because it saved you a whole lot of mess. Um, 269 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 1: and the mallows would just pick up a coating of 270 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 1: the stuff is they were being pressed into shape. Nice. 271 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 1: But there were more improvements to be made, and it 272 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 1: was made by Alex Dumak in the US, in which 273 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: brings us to modern marshmallow manufacturing. Yes, uh okay, So 274 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: the mass production of food frequently means treating food items 275 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: as though they are industrial materials, which I guess at 276 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 1: that point they are, right um. And Alex Dumak the 277 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: son of a marshmallow maker who had been mass producing 278 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: marshmallows in cast molds, you know, like the usual way 279 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: since the nineteen twenties. Alex figured out that you could 280 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: extrude marshmallows in food processing. Extrusion is when you shove 281 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: a bat or through holes sounds, so I know, you 282 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: just you just shove it. Um. So sometimes with air 283 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: pressure or something like that. Um. It's how stuff like 284 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: like cereals and pasta are generally made, and it works 285 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: really well with marshmallows. They can either be cut individually 286 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 1: as they come out of the extruder, or formed into 287 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: long ropes and then cut in mass. And this machinery 288 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: made it possible to create a marshmallow in an hour flat. 289 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 1: A single marshmallow, well, I mean that probably more than 290 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: just the one, but you know, but from start to 291 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 1: finish that I mean, yeah, bach batch of marshmallows, I understand, 292 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: just just checking away. Then it's a good, good, good call. Um. 293 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: The Dumac company, by the way, makes um Campfire and 294 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 1: Rocky Mountain brand marshmallows. If you've ever seen a camp 295 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: fire marshmallow, that's them. And he would soon license the 296 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 1: patent out to Craft because his company couldn't keep up 297 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 1: with demand. They were so much cheaper than traditionally produced 298 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: marshmallows that he was just like a guy and handle 299 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 1: it anymore. Craft, please take this patent. Um. So they 300 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: started using an extrusion process for their marshmallows in the 301 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: late nineteen fifties and marketed them as jet puffed to 302 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 1: kind of ride the space Races coat tails into commercial success. 303 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 1: Uh and it worked really well. Um in the even 304 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: ran a promotion where kids could send in empty marshmallow 305 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 1: bags in order to enter to win a spaceship and 306 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 1: non operative spaceship. UM complete with astronauts suits and count 307 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: down lights in this projector that would show them star maps, 308 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: which is just can cute. That is surprised I would 309 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: have really wanted right now as a kid, I would 310 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: totally set that up in my backyard. But let's talk 311 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: a little bit here about the science of marshmallows, because 312 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 1: there's marshmallow science, of course there is. Okay, So, so 313 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: your goal in making a marshmallow is to um, it's 314 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: just suspend air bubbles inside of a soft solid, giving 315 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: the marshmallows that spongy, smooshy texture texture that they have. 316 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,199 Speaker 1: And you do that by heating up sugar and some 317 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: kind of jelling agent until they're they're both liquid and pliable, 318 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: and and then whipping them so that air bubbles get trapped, 319 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: and then letting them cool so so it all sets 320 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 1: back into a solid. Marshmallows are technically a stabilized foam, 321 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: and gelatine is a really good basis for this. Uh 322 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: it's it's a really good jelling agent. Um gelatine being 323 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: animal collagen, which is a structural protein that that makes 324 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: your body have shape rather than just being a puddle. 325 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: Without collagen, we would all just be puddles. Um Collagen 326 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,360 Speaker 1: can be stretchy and pliable like it is in your 327 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,439 Speaker 1: skin and tendons and muscles and blood vessels, and it 328 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 1: can it can also get mineralized and then be stiff, 329 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 1: like like in your bones. Food grade collagen is derived 330 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: from the skin and bones of cows and pigs most 331 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: commonly these days, but can also be taken from fish 332 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: skin and bones if you want to make kosher gelatin 333 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,400 Speaker 1: or otherwise you know, gelatine that is friendly to people 334 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: who do not want to eat those mammals. And there 335 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: are a lot of plant derived jelling agents that can 336 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: be used in addition to or instead of gelatine in 337 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 1: order to give marshmallows different textures and or to to 338 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: to make them vegan, like a soy protein gum, arabic 339 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: ag are other stuff derived from seaweed. Seeweed is a 340 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: great squidgy substance, that's true. And Laura at Malve Marshmallows 341 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: was experimenting with this. We visited her. Yeah, yeah, she 342 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 1: she said that she was working on kind of retexturizing 343 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 1: in a bunch of different ways and trying to and 344 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: trying to find like vegetarian and vegan alternatives to m 345 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:42,360 Speaker 1: that other thing. Um. Gelatine, by the way, solidifies around 346 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: nine degrees fahrenheit a k a Thirty five degrees celsius 347 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: and and melts at anything above that, which is why 348 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 1: things like marshmallows melt in your mouth. A h tasty 349 00:22:54,440 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: fun science. Indeed, well, now that we have covered marshmallows science, 350 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 1: it's time to take a look at marshmallow culture. But 351 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 1: first it's time to take a look at this ad 352 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 1: from our sponsor, and we're back. Thank you sponsor, And 353 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: I hope that all of you listeners enjoyed looking at 354 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: that ad. Um. I love looking at my audio as 355 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 1: it's my favorite. So uh so marshmallows are are just 356 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,959 Speaker 1: intensely fun and hilarious and they have a long history 357 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: of being so yes, I wish I had recorded the 358 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 1: look on my face as I did this research, because 359 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: it was just delightful. Um. The most obvious cultural thing 360 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: is probably this more. The origin of this more is 361 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: a bit of a mystery. As far back as the 362 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:58,479 Speaker 1: Victorian era we can find recipes for cookie sandwiches, and 363 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 1: by the twentieth century, these sandwiches, some made with marshmallows, 364 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: were fairly common. The first published recipe for some More 365 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: popped up in courtesy of a Girl Scouts recipe titled 366 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 1: some More, ah Yeah, which called for smashing too coal 367 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 1: roasted marshmallows in a quote Graham cracker and chocolate bar sandwich. 368 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: That sounds like a lot. Yeah. I mean, I've I've 369 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: done it. That's not out of the reil of possibility 370 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: in my book, I see, Okay, yes, continue, Some More 371 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: was shortened too, s'more. And these days fift of marshmallows 372 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 1: purchased in the summer go up in flames over a campfire. 373 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:50,120 Speaker 1: There Graham cracker and chocolate coffin, John Goodness. Some companies 374 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: started selling countertop marshmallow roasters are b B quers guaranteed 375 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: safe for children of any size. We used one of these, 376 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 1: I don't know that I would agree with that. I 377 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 1: don't think it was safe for us, let alone for children. 378 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: The largest more ever, by the way, wait six hundred 379 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: pounds in the nineteen twenties. As well, in addition to 380 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: giving us some moores, the nineteen twenties gave us jello 381 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: salads spiked with many marshmallows. That's just like the most 382 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: artificial I don't know, it's just these two gelatin products. 383 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: I don't I never want that colors.

No, I 385 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: mean I would try it, but I've I've had it. 386 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 1: My um. One of my grandmother's is uh, very fond 387 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: of the jello. Is a side salad, and that cracks 388 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: me up. That a side salad. That's great yellow salad. 389 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: But what were we trying to convince ourselves? Um, speaking 390 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: of like childhood memories. Oh my god, I totally forgot 391 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: about rice crispies until I was doing this research. Great 392 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: Race Street treats. Yes, they're very important. Yes, rice crispy 393 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: treats were around before rice crispies. The cereal was around, 394 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: um yeah, and before mass produced marshmallows were around. Originally, 395 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 1: they use corn syrup and molasses as the finder, and 396 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,400 Speaker 1: a woman who worked at Kellogg, Mildred Day, is credited 397 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 1: with cooking up this recipe for rice crisp treats we 398 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,919 Speaker 1: know today to sell as a fundraiser for the Campfire 399 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 1: Girls group, and according to the U.

They're very they're gooey, they're crisp, completely different. 412 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: You could work for rice crispy trades. Also, let us 413 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: not forget peeps, Yes, peeps. In nine three, Sam Born 414 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 1: of the Just Born Candy Company purchased the Rata Candy 415 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: Company and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, which at the time produced these 416 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: marshmallow chicks specifically for Easter by hand that took twenty 417 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,959 Speaker 1: seven hours to make. My goodness, just Born actually wanted 418 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:56,400 Speaker 1: the jelly bean technology originally which jelly bean technology. That's 419 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: two great words when you put together. Yes, I love it. 420 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:04,719 Speaker 1: Um when they saw yes eventually, and when they saw 421 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: the peeps that they were enchanted by them, and uh 422 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: originally just born like the parent company. The original company 423 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: released peeps a sort of a specialty item around Easter, 424 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: but demand was so high they wanted a way to 425 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: speed up the process so they could produce and by 426 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,959 Speaker 1: n four they had automated the process with a machine 427 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 1: called the Depositor, and they trademarked peeps. They made pumpkins 428 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: for Halloween, Christmas, trees for Christmas, and today five point 429 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: five million peeps are made a day at this one 430 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:43,959 Speaker 1: factory in Pennsylvania.

And 433 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: in a group of scientist calling themselves Heap investigators set 434 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 1: out to test the indestructibility of peeps with the range 435 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: of deadly tools like cigarettes and liquid nitrogen, and found 436 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: that peeps are for the most part indestructible. Pretty impressive peeps. 437 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: They're very device. If I find I really I really 438 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 1: dislike them. They're not food or I don't know, there's 439 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: something about them. It's very upsetting. I think it's the 440 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: granular sugar coating. Yeah, maybe I don't. I have had 441 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: enough peeps in so long. I can't say Holly Fry 442 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: loves them. She loves them. If you guys ever want 443 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: to get on Holly's good side, senders some peeps. Yes. Meanwhile, 444 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: in kid In Company, one of those two corporations that 445 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: has a marshmallow plant in Lincolneer, they created a six 446 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy one pound marshmallow for that annual festival. Wow, 447 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: it's the marshmallow are so light to me, so I 448 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 1: imagine I'm trying to imagine how big it would have 449 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: had to wait. Yeah, they apparently diverted their entire line 450 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: for in order to make this giant molded anyway, I 451 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: can only hope it was eaten. I'm I'm sure. I'm 452 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: sure it was carved up. So. Another one I've never 453 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 1: had one of these is moon pies. I still can't 454 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 1: believe that you've missed, man, I missed a whole range 455 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: of like cheap desserts. I mean, they're not like good, 456 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: but there I don't know. It's so they're they're real, 457 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 1: they're real, worth while, Like I don't know they taste 458 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: like plastic and nostalgia. Maybe maybe we'll try one. According 459 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: to moon Pies website, the idea for this product of 460 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: marshmallows sandwich between two Graham Kaka cookies and then dipped 461 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 1: in chocolate originated with Earl Mitchell, a traveling salesman who 462 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: asked a Kentucky coal minor what kind of snack would 463 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: you like to eat and got the description of what 464 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: is now known as the Moonpie in respond or as 465 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: the coal miner allegedly called it a snack as big 466 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 1: as the moon, hence the name. There you go. It 467 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 1: was cheap and it fits in a lunch pale and 468 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: by nine the Chattanooga bakery that served as the primary 469 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:20,719 Speaker 1: producer of moonpies was boxing hundreds a day. Apparently they 470 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: were improved when enjoyed with an R C Cola, to 471 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: the point that in the fifties you could hear Big 472 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: Bill listeners give me an RC cola and a moonpie 473 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 1: on the radio. Okay, like top of the charts. Cool, 474 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: And since two thousand eight, Mobile Alabama raises a moonpie 475 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: on New Year's Eve. I had no idea that so 476 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: many marshmallow based products were being used in New Year's 477 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: It's excellent. Michigan Stadium once had to outlaw marshmallows at 478 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 1: football games because students kept stuffing them with pennies and 479 00:31:55,880 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 1: pelting the opposing team in marching band with them. That's 480 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 1: terrible because you think it's not gonna hurt and they 481 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: know they're stuffed with I'm sure it wasn't. I think 482 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 1: it was just enough penny to to give it weight, 483 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: so I don't think it was meant to hurt anybody. 484 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: It's just a menace, a marshmallow menace. I think I 485 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: can be menacing um. And another favorite of mine, another thing, 486 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 1: I've never tried marshmallow fluff. You've never tried marshmallow fluff. No, 487 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 1: I missed the whole thing. I missed the whole You've 488 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: never had a fluff or Nutter sandwich. Okay, okay, okay, 489 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 1: cultural note, Yes we're talking, yes, okay, marshmallow fluff. This 490 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 1: stuff goes all the way back to the eight nineties 491 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: and before Archibald Query I know whipped together some sugar 492 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 1: dried egg whites, corn syrup, and vanilla to make the 493 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 1: version we know today. It was marketed as a wrinkle treatment. 494 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: According to an ad I found it could even fill 495 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 1: out a shriveled old throat or bust all of my 496 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: favorite facts ever. Okay, well sure you know marshmallows are healing, 497 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 1: marshmallow fluff, good marshmallow sap. Yeah, well this, yeah, I 498 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: can just imagine putting marshalls my face stuck there, that miserable. Yeah, yes, 499 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: but I was so happy to find that. Anyway, Queery 500 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 1: went door to door to sell his product, but the 501 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: sugar shortage caused by World War One had him looking 502 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: to sell his marshmallow cream business, and sel he did 503 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 1: for five dollars to two veterans, Alan Dirky and Fred Mower. 504 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 1: In ninety Dirky and Moher started making what they called 505 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 1: to sweet marshmallow fluff, and by n they had opened 506 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: a large factory to keep up with demand, and they 507 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: sponsored a radio show of live music and comedy called 508 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: the Flufferettes. It aired before The Jack Benny Show on 509 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 1: twenty one New England stations, and it was around until 510 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 1: the nineteen forties. And before we move on from the entirely, 511 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 1: I read that their factory is an example of a 512 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 1: very like It was very ahead of its time. It 513 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 1: was impressive cool, Yeah, and that brings us to love 514 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 1: for another sandwiches and this was one of the favorite 515 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 1: facts of Laura at mal Vi. Uh. Yeah, they're um. 516 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,360 Speaker 1: They're also associated with New England in particular, although I 517 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 1: picked them up in South Florida in Emma Curtis and 518 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 1: her brother Armory, who were descendants of Paul Revere. By 519 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:49,400 Speaker 1: the way, I started making and marketing snowflake marshmallow cream 520 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 1: krem There's an accent mark over the E. I'm not 521 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 1: sure what to do with it anyway. Emma was really 522 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,360 Speaker 1: good at getting the word out on radio shows and 523 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 1: in brochures, and during World War One she pub a 524 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: recipe for the fluffer Nutter sandwich, or a sandwich of 525 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: peanut butter and marshmallow cream. Only she called it the 526 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 1: Liberty Sandwich. It wasn't It wasn't called the fluffer Nutter 527 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 1: until nineteen sixty when an ad agency came up with 528 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:18,400 Speaker 1: the name to to advertise the sandwich. Until then it 529 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:23,759 Speaker 1: was the Liberty sandwich. Luffer Nutters were Liberty sandwiches. Oh, 530 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: I love it um, And to this day New Englanders 531 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 1: are responsible for half of global sales of marshmallow fluff. 532 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 1: You can't even get it everywhere in the US half 533 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 1: of the world. Sale bunch. Yeah. I wonder if you 534 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:45,840 Speaker 1: can get it on menus. Some research research to be done. 535 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,800 Speaker 1: I think they have it at the Kroger. We can 536 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,839 Speaker 1: I mean, we can go, we can go find some 537 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,319 Speaker 1: good Yeah, but I want to know if I can 538 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,839 Speaker 1: order it on a menu in a restaurant. Oh, oh, 539 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 1: a Fluffer Nutter sandwich. I feel like they have one 540 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:02,919 Speaker 1: at Manny Is that at Manuals down Street? I could 541 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 1: be I could be wrong. Check that out. Yeah. Fluff's 542 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:10,840 Speaker 1: birthplace of Somerville, Massachusetts, has an annual what the Fluff 543 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 1: Festival of September love it Field trip um. Another bit 544 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 1: of random history. In ninety nine, the manager of the 545 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 1: Yankees was fired after getting into a bar brawl with 546 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,719 Speaker 1: a marshmallow salesman. I wonder what it was about. I'm 547 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:28,920 Speaker 1: not I'm not sure. I think I don't know. He 548 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 1: was apparently a Brawley kind of dude, but in the 549 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 1: Yankees manager or not the marshmallow salesman that we know of, 550 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 1: Although yeah, I think the supposedly the manager dude was 551 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:41,839 Speaker 1: kind of taunting him, like, like, what's a big dude 552 00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 1: like you do and selling marshmallows is the thing that 553 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:52,280 Speaker 1: he said mean uncalled for also coming soon. All marshmallow 554 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,360 Speaker 1: like each arms, which despite being the best part of 555 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 1: Lucky Charms, are the worst types of marshmallows in my opinion. Uh. 556 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 1: Their call in the food industry marbits. And they're basically 557 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:08,240 Speaker 1: just dried marshmallows because the amount of moisture and regular 558 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 1: marshmallows would totally ruin a box of Cereal Miguel Moldy 559 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 1: at bad times. Um. Yeah, there's there's a whole extensive 560 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:23,719 Speaker 1: drying process that they go through. Oh boy. And they 561 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 1: were also used as sort of kind of fortune tellers. Yeah, 562 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,239 Speaker 1: you guys have heard of the the Stanford marshmallow experiments. 563 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:36,840 Speaker 1: Probably maybe. Walter Michelle, a Stanford psychologist, conducted a series 564 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,040 Speaker 1: of experiments towards the end of the nineteen sixties where 565 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,239 Speaker 1: he'd set a single marshmallow in front of a child 566 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:47,280 Speaker 1: participant and tell them they could have one marshmallow immediately 567 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,879 Speaker 1: or two if they waited a couple of minutes. Years later, 568 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,399 Speaker 1: he thought to reconnect to these subjects in the term 569 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 1: if there's connection between the kids who could exercise delaid 570 00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:03,479 Speaker 1: gratification and act make performance and social relationships. And yes, 571 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 1: this study indicated that kids who could wait it out 572 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 1: did better in these two areas. And yes it has 573 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:14,719 Speaker 1: been replicated. There's been so much written about these these 574 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 1: marshmallow experiments, like a like a lot. There's some really, 575 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:20,799 Speaker 1: I'll try to post some links on social media. It's 576 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:25,840 Speaker 1: it's super fascinating stuff. Also, let us never forget the 577 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,840 Speaker 1: stay puffed marshmallow man. Who could forget this day puffed 578 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 1: marshmallow man stuff with nightmares? Uh? And you can make 579 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,319 Speaker 1: your own marshmallows friends. Yes, as we said at the 580 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 1: top of the podcast, they're very much different than what 581 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,720 Speaker 1: you'll buy in the store generally like a grocery store, 582 00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:51,440 Speaker 1: and there very much better. Yeah there, Okay, They're both 583 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,239 Speaker 1: entirely worthwhile and a huge effing pain in the neck. 584 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 1: In order to do this, You're you're going to need 585 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,880 Speaker 1: a stand mixer and a candy the momometer or another 586 00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:04,239 Speaker 1: probe type thermometer. And there are no arguments to be 587 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 1: made here. No, don't, don't, don't even start with me. 588 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:12,520 Speaker 1: We're going to be dealing with edible napalm. Serious. She's 589 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 1: pointing the finger at me. She knows I've tried this 590 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 1: and failed. Uh So, Basically, you start by um by 591 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,120 Speaker 1: a turning a packet of dried gelatine into a squidgy 592 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:26,320 Speaker 1: gelatine by adding water. This is called blooming the gelatine 593 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:30,120 Speaker 1: UM and be by making a simple syrup equal parts 594 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:34,000 Speaker 1: water and sugar, heated until they're both liquid. Um. It's 595 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 1: nice to subbend some corn syrup to help keep the 596 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,879 Speaker 1: mixture stable a k A. Not to let it crystallize, 597 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,960 Speaker 1: so you continue heating it, watching the temperature carefully with 598 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,400 Speaker 1: your thermometer, and swirling the pan instead of stirring it. 599 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,640 Speaker 1: Stirring can agitate any tiny rogue sugar crystals in the 600 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:53,920 Speaker 1: syrup and set off a chain reaction of crystallization. I 601 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,800 Speaker 1: don't want it. Uh So you you heat this mixture 602 00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 1: until you reach the soft ball stage of liquid sugar, 603 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:04,000 Speaker 1: which is two degrees fahrenheit a k A hundred and 604 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:07,480 Speaker 1: twenty degrees celsius and in in candy making, that's the 605 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,600 Speaker 1: name that the softball stage is the name for when 606 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 1: the density of a sugar syrup is such that it 607 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:16,880 Speaker 1: will hold soft shape like a like taffy. And you 608 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:20,759 Speaker 1: should be so careful please around this mixture because it 609 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:22,799 Speaker 1: will stick to your skin if it splashes on you 610 00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:26,400 Speaker 1: and burn you very very badly. Um candy is terrifying. 611 00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:28,799 Speaker 1: Assuming that you're not in the e er, you add 612 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,359 Speaker 1: your bloomed gelatine and your soft ball stage syrup into 613 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,719 Speaker 1: a stand mixer and then just kind of whip the 614 00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,799 Speaker 1: crap out of it for like fifteen minutes. Uh. Then 615 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:40,520 Speaker 1: when it's basically done, you can add a little bit 616 00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 1: of flavoring like vanilla extract, although you do have to 617 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:47,040 Speaker 1: be very careful because anything to acidic or alcohol e 618 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,080 Speaker 1: could could melt the sugar and gelatine structures and and 619 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,759 Speaker 1: just leave you with a goose soup. I don't want 620 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:57,279 Speaker 1: it now. Then to finish it off, you you kind 621 00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,399 Speaker 1: of quickly scrape the mallow batter into a gree pan 622 00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 1: and let it sit either uncovered or loosely covered until 623 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,600 Speaker 1: it's firm a couple hours or up to overnight, and 624 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,040 Speaker 1: then just cut him into chunks, cot him with equal 625 00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,600 Speaker 1: parts corn starch and sugar and impressed all of your 626 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 1: friends with delicious, light, fluffy home made marshmallows. And I 627 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:21,040 Speaker 1: have been impressed by a friend with homemade marshmallows. So 628 00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:23,920 Speaker 1: you you had to tell the tell the story. It's 629 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 1: a good story. I was about to leave for eight 630 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,799 Speaker 1: months um to be in Australia, and I was at 631 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,800 Speaker 1: the airport and a friend of mine showed up. I 632 00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:37,960 Speaker 1: didn't know she was going to show up to say 633 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,960 Speaker 1: goodbye to me. And she has with her this container, 634 00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,000 Speaker 1: and she didn't tell me it was in it. She 635 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,319 Speaker 1: opened it with like all this drama, and it was. 636 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,799 Speaker 1: I couldn't tell what it was at first because she 637 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 1: hadn't cut them up, but it was a layer of 638 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:56,400 Speaker 1: homemade marshmallows. And I was both very delighted at a 639 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,839 Speaker 1: halfy she gave them to me, and very confused as 640 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,360 Speaker 1: to why she gave them to me right before I 641 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 1: got onto a plane. I hadn't even gone through security. 642 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,400 Speaker 1: I don't know, are they gonna let me take this 643 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:11,319 Speaker 1: massive marshmallow with me? Is this a gel? I'm not 644 00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:16,239 Speaker 1: sure it's more than three ounces. Yes, But they were delicious. 645 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:21,960 Speaker 1: They were vanilla flavored, very good. I was impressed. Um. 646 00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:23,960 Speaker 1: And and by the way, of all the pain that 647 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,920 Speaker 1: marshmallows kind of are to make cleanup is a breeze 648 00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:32,120 Speaker 1: because they're made of water soluble things. Sugar dissolves. It's 649 00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:36,160 Speaker 1: so nice gelatin too. Yeah, so that's a plus. All 650 00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,759 Speaker 1: that hard work, but at least the cleanup will be easy. 651 00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:44,279 Speaker 1: And that is pretty much all we have on Marshmallows 652 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:49,120 Speaker 1: for each day. That brings us to the end of 653 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:53,840 Speaker 1: this classic episode on Marshmallows. We hope you enjoyed it.
